How do you approach the long wordy multiple choice
questions that include several dates(not just year ends)
and several numbers?
Do you skip straight to the question and then read the
question? Do you scribble notes as you read the paragraph?
Do you glance at answers before starting to calculate?
I find myself having to read long questions 3+ times before
I can even begin to figure out where to start. I need a
more streamline strategy. Thanks

If the answers are numbers, I would read the last part of the question first.
Your mind will automatically filter out at least some of the irrelevant info.
When I find myself reading a question 3+ times, it usually means I'm tired of
studying.
